In more than 40 episodes spanning 75 years, equity and bond fund investors have defied predictions that they would panic and spark crises. Yet banking regulators won’t let go of their “run” scenario. Why?

The former leader of the English Defence League, known by the pseudonym Tommy Robinson, is accused of filming people involved in a criminal trial last year and broadcasting the footage on social media.

The case will be heard at the Old Bailey in London on July 4 and 5, days after the formation of the new European Parliament of which Yaxley-Lennon is standing to be a member.

Yaxley-Lennon, an independent European election candidate in the North West England region, was jailed last year for filming people outside court in Leeds, but the contempt finding against him was quashed by the Court of Appeal in August.

However, two High Court judges on Tuesday ruled a new case should be brought, following an application from Attorney General Geoffrey Cox, who said in March there were “strong grounds” for fresh proceedings.

Protesters gathered outside the High Court in London in support of Yaxley-Lennon, and were met by counter-demonstrations organized by the Stand Up to Racism group.

As well as standing as an independent in the European election, Yaxley-Lennon has been appointed by UKIP leader Gerard Batten as an “adviser” on grooming gangs.
